WATSONVILLE, CA (July 7, 2021) – Police arrested Rosendo Aguilar for felony hit-and-run and DUI after crashing into the crowd of people in Watsonville Sunday evening.
 
Around 9:15 p.m. on July 4, Watsonville fire crews responded to a small brush fire in a vacant lot on Miles Lane. They had the fire nearly contained when a pickup truck drove past the scene and hit multiple cars and bystanders.
 
The vehicle first crashed into a firefighter command vehicle, then tried to reverse out of the area but crashed with parked vehicles, the firefighter and a bystander.
 
One of the pedestrians struck refused transportation to the hospital. The other pedestrian was sent to a local hospital with unspecified injuries.
 
Paramedics took the firefighter to Natividad Trauma Center in Salinas.
